Where To Document F100 Wheel Bolt Pattern Oddity?

Guys - I need some help.  For the second time in a few days someone has raised the issue of what wheel bolt pattern an F100 uses.  Almost four years ago I ran this to ground on FTE:

Discussed in this thread

And explained in this post

I said in that post that we need to get it documented somewhere, but I don't think it has been.  And, as the document king, you'd think I would have.  But, now that I've had to find that post twice in a few days I'm now determined to document it.

However, the question is where?  Here are some thoughts:

On the Driveline/Wheels page, possibly on the Applications tab at the top.  In addition, I should also point out an omission in that table, which doesn't show the 5 x 4.5" wheels used in 1980 and '81, but Bill/Numberdummy said they were in the above thread.  However, this seems an obscure spot.

In the soon-to-be Wheel section on the Engine & Driveline tab on the Year-To-Year Differences page.  But again, that's kinda obscure.

On a new tab, maybe labeled F100 Bolt Pattern on the Bullnose FAQ's page.

As said, these seem to be obscure places to store what is a seemingly frequent question.  So, what suggestions do you have?

Please!?!?

I vote for the FAQ's page idea.

Before I read the later posts I looked around and thought another tab on the FAQ page.

Then I reread your post and the next two. Duh!

So I agree, the FAQ page.

Ok guys, 3 out of 3 can't be wrong.  PLEASE read through it and see if it makes sense to you: Bullnose FAQ's.

Also, click on the Wheel Application Chart link on that page and read the explanation I gave on the Driveline/Wheels page, Application tab.

Does that combo seem to do it?
